In this study we demonstrate that sample strips of lidar in
combination with Landsat can be used to predict forest attributes
more precisely than from Landsat alone. While lidar
and Landsat can each be used alone in vegetation mapping,
the cost of wall to wall lidar may exceed users' financial...
Lidar is able to provide height and cover information which can be used to estimate selected forest attributes precisely. However, for users to evaluate whether the additional cost and complication associated with using Lidar merits adoption requires that the protocol to use lidar be thoroughly described and that a basis...
